Story:Drakengard 3 transports players to a medieval world where six goddess-like sisters known as "Intoners" have brought peace to the earth with their power to manipulate magic through song. Harmony is disrupted, however, when the eldest sister, Zero, attempts to murder her younger sisters with the help of her dragon companion, Mikhail. As the story progresses, players find themselves in a battle to unravel the mystery of Zero and learn her true intentions. A prequel to the original Drakengard, Drakengard 3 features the series’ signature brand of action, pitting players against hordes of fiends and foes in remorseless hack-and-slash ground combat, and then sending them soaring for pitched aerial battles on the back of the dragon Mikhail.Show more

Drakengard 3 is a game thats very existence is a miracle. Nobody expected the series was going to continue when Cavia closed down after releasing Nier. The game holds a special place in my heart, with its fantastic story and music, and surprisingly enjoyable combat. My favorite moments were all the fun interactions between Zero and Mikhail.

Drakengard 3 is one of those games that sticks with you, not because it was perfect, but because it was utterly unique. It's messy, chaotic, and downright broken at times, but it had a raw energy that few games capture. The story was unforgettable, dark, twisted, and emotionally brutal, with a cast of deeply flawed characters you couldn’t look away from. And the OST is brilliant. Underrated gem stuck on a dead platform, deserves to be played on modern hardware at 60 FPS. Lots of players who like modern Nier would really enjoy going back to series roots.

Drakengard 3 is such a weird experience. Definitely the weirdest game, in a good way. A prequel to Drakengard 1 but it's a LOT more bloody but filled with more meta jokes and fourth-wall breaks. The original Drakengard 3 on PS3 ran pretty poorly at low frame rates with lag, but even so it was still an experience that stays with you. OST is my personal fav in the Taro series of games, and characters have gorgeous designs. Also, Zero is the best and she can do nothing wrong.

A dark fantasy that is insanely dark but can still make you laugh your ass off. You can ride a dragon, you gonna laugh, you gonna cry, what else do you need? It's sad it's stuck on the ps3.

Drakengard 3 is a game that is only available to be played on PS3 and had quite a bit of issues with performance. Despite this, It is a strange incredible game that should be experienced, Despite some dated aspects It'll stick with you like no other. Like the previous games it presents a pretty dark story but the cast of characters really set it apart from the others in the series. This game is brutal, ALOT of blood, uncomfortable and dark character interactions and jokes. Some of these do feel "of an era", rough around the edges but some have such a lasting impact that you'll find yourself remembering even the rough parts of this game fondly. The OST is incredible with some of the best songs in the entire DrakeNieR series and the game culminates to one of the most incredibly difficult and unforgettable boss fights ever in gaming.
At first I bought it just as a collector but once I played it I couldn’t put it down, while the game had frame rate issues I barely even noticed them most of the time, the characters are fun if not somewhat annoying at times but that is their character, the music SLAPS!! dlc was great too had a blast playing as the other sisters and the final boss, while many seem to not like it or just find it lazy I loved it especially the feeling I got once I finally beat it! It was the first game I get platinumed on ps3 and I had an absolute blast with it!

O pior melhor jogo que já joguei. Eu realmente sonho com uma portabilidade fidedigna pra pc. Yoko Taro é um gênio maluco, não sei como um jogo recheado de erros me cativou tanto.

Drakengard 3 has a terrible level design, clunky controls, annoying characters, awkward jokes, boring side content, hardly innovates and doesn't try to hide it at all. And then, the game becomes self aware of how it works and suddenly decides to turn everything upside down. The good parts shine so much that even those "bad" parts are remembered fondly after clearing the game. Maybe they were not bad at all. It's a 9/10 disguised as a 2/10, an unforgettable experience that makes us think of why we play videogames. We all find our answers when we clear The Final Verse.

I had the absolute pleasure of playing this game back when it released. This was my first Drakengard game and I absolutely loved it. Yeah, it was a very weird game for the time but almost no one else was doing what Yoko Taro was doing. The only thing that held this game back, was really the performance on the PS3. It was like watching and playing a 1920's silent film with the choppiest of choppy frame rates you could ever imagine. I don't know if GoG or even Square will be able to preserve this game, but here's my vote if it can happen. Yoko Taro should want to preserve his legacy with this and the first Drakengard game.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
